    Who is talking about talent or praise, I said the real estate market is suffering under this current government. I don't expect praise for anything I do.

    Reread your posts dude. You got really offended when I said real estate profession is the ultimate nepotism frat boy profession. Hence why the rant about hiring electricians and plumbers as if it's hard work from you.

    I didn't get offended, I just think you have poor judgement. I don't think you have a good understanding about how a lot of things really work.

    Well you've taught me some things about how the world works today like how real estate investors hire electricians and plumbers. Really changed my perspective about them.

    You missed the point entirely, people can't move into free homes or government provided homes if they can't afford to properly care for them.

    LOL real estate market had its best year in recorded history in 2021. What the **** are you talking about? It's bidens fault that the fed raised rates in 2023? You know the fed controls rates and has nothing to do with the president?

    Why are Republicans so illiterate about how the economy works

    @Salvy thinks Trump will save the economy, the same dude who wanted negative interest rates in 2020. Imagine if he got his way and what that would do to inflation.

    @fchowd0311 The problem with every debate with trumpers is they always use the 2019 economy. In november 2020:

    -Tsa air travel at near lows
    -Vaccinations hadnt begun
    -gdp was near negative
    -we were adding 40k jobs a month
    -wages were NEGATIVE

    This idea that the economy was booming when trump left is such bullshit. Stop letting them get away with rewriting history.

    in 2021 the USA had its strongest GDP year in over 20 years and surpassed chinas gdp for the first time in 40 years LOL. The real estate market literally had its best year on record in 2021. Why are you so damn dumb? Is there literally anything you're knowledgably about? baseketball?

    The reason the real estate market sucks now is cuz the fed raised rates after the economy was too hot in 2021. It wasnt because the economy was bad.

    Do you know how the entire white suburban middle class was created?

    Ridiculously cheap home loans during the suburban housing boom right after ww2 during "white flight" where a federal employee postal worker or a factory laborer with a high school education on a single income could afford a home for a family of four with a car and the whole enchilada. Conveniently this is where peak redlining happened where black families were denied thise same cheap mortgages which eventually created the massive wealth divide between median white and black families as those cheap homes during the suburban housing boom skyrocketed in value over the following decades creating equity for the entire white middle class to do things like create small business like a plumbing business. It's how we got the MAGA boat incident. A bunch of well off people based on generational handouts allowing them to create small businesses but have little to no education doing stupid **** on a public lake with yachts.

    Today we don't let high school only educated menial laborers on a single income own property. We did allow that many decades ago which created the suburban white middle class.

    Lol, real estate was too hot in 2021..... Yeah, because there was hardly any houses available. We were putting offers in 20K over asking price and still not getting the contract. All it did was raise the prices of homes nationwide making it extremely difficult for people to buy decent homes today. While you were watching CNN and The View I was actually selling homes in 2021.... Sit down mane.....

    Ya please tell me what bank is going to approve a 400 grand mortgage(median asking price in my state for example) for a family with a single income maker making 17 dollars an hour with zero other assets to leverage?

    off the top of my head I know one kid under 30 who does small engine repair and owns his own house with garage on five acres, just high school. Second guy is 40, has five kids, and runs one of the biggest pest control company in Boston. High school diploma, barely. He’s on his second home and spends half the year on vacation from the looks of it. So again, just a flat-out empirically false assertion. Who is the “we” that’s keeping people down? If anything those without college are doing far better than a lot of college grads, especially those saddled with debt.

    None because you can't afford a 400K grand mortgage, same house would have been 250-300 k just 3 years ago but the economy was soooo booming according to the economist expert woke123 that homes are now priced out for the lower and middle class. That's what happens in a booming economy, its not inflation.

    So you being an anecdote of a literal small business owner as evidence that salaried employees working non college educated level professions like postal worker or factory laborer, professions that allowed for the ownership of the median home in the 60s and 70s as empirical evidence?

    All the empirical evidence you need is that in 1960 the median value of a home adjusted in today's money was 60 grand and today the median home value today is around 350 grand.

    Ya dude, this means the same type of profession and wealth profile that could afford the median home as their max budget in 1960 cannot today afford the median home of 2023.
